Episode 18 // Calling Old HollywoodMy guest this week is musician and artist, Frank Lee Drennen.Frank is a Los Angeles based songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. He is one half of the Americana/ Country/ Contemporary duo, Dead Rock West with Cindy Wasserman.We discuss Frank’s roots in music and the arts, the early days of becoming a musician, the craft of songwriting, life as an artist, his early influences from U2 to Merle Haggard, John Denver and Chet Baker. We talk of Jazz, Blues, Country— authenticity in songwriting, in life, as well as the true blue songwriters and musicians who laid the pavement for the songwriters to walk today.Dead Rock West released their new record May 1st via Bandcamp entitled ‘ Glitter and Gold’. I encourage everyone to buy a copy.Dead Rock West Bandcamp : https://deadrockwest.bandcamp.com/releasesOn a personal note — the first time I saw Dead Rock West perform before I knew Frank, was at The Roxy a few years ago opening for legendary punk band X. I was immediately drawn in by the sincerity that effortlessly flows throughout their performances and music. Needless to say it left an impact. Songs of love and life written and melodically orchestrated in a raw yet delicate way, arrived from a sincere place which is a breath of fresh air among some of today’s music.Don’t miss this episode!Available 05.29.20 at 6pm PST via Racketeer Radio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all other major streamingplatforms.callingoldhollywood.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/callingoldhollywood)

Episode four of The Jukebox Graduate is a good old-fashioned conversation about music and how it makes us think. After explaining why John Stamos does the intro Eugene talks about his visit to Elvis's childhood home. Cindy Wasserman briefly graces the show to introduce a song by her band Dead Rock West, plus we get to hear a track from the Sadies. After that the guys discuss how music has influenced their politics. Dave and Eugene go over new releases by Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Lukas Nelson, and the new duet album by Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer. Dave spotlights the Noise Noise Noise Records label and a new release by Andrew Liles. Then things get weird as the guys chat about "Frankie Teardrop" by Suicide. And speaking of suicide, they talk about the price of fame. This episode of the Jukebox Graduate is brought to you by Satellite Amplifiers. www.thejukeboxgraduate.com
